Poll Ping!

If you want on or off my poll ping list, let me know!

[No dems 2002]

If you look at the Survey USA poll on Texas, you'll find that their sampling of voters is extremely favorable for dems. They have whites constituting just 63% of the electorate (10 points down from 2000) and Hispanics at 23% and blacks at 11%. That's a stretch if you asked me. I think whites will do better than that. But I just don't trust these Survey USA polls too much, they're just too democratic (often closer than other independent polls).

The great news here is that Carcieri has taken a slim lead in Rhode Island...he clearly has the momentum. I didn't think the Republican would have a chance here. This, along with Mannix's surge in Oregon, may go a long way to help prevent a Dem blowout in the governor's races.

Dole better watch out. Looks like she wasn't prepared for this close of a race. Possible upset here.

Best news there is that Cornyn is up by 7% over Sanchez!

[Conservative til I die]

Finally got some numbers on the NY Governor's race. So McCall really is this close to finishing third? Awesome. The Liberal Party will lose it's ballot line status since they're running a dead candidate (Andrew Cuomo) and the Dems slip to "third party" status if Golisano can maintain the momentum for the next week.

many people now have call block and or caller id. call block affects surveyusa polls especially because it is automated. Thus sample is not good. Call blocking and caller id are also affecting the pool for traditional polling as well. telephone polling will become obsolete within 10 years.
